Jerusalem Terror Attack Stopped by IDF

by Eric on December 9, 2009

Israel Defence Forces border guards arrested a Palestinian male carrying six high powered pipe bombs through the Qalandiya checkpoint.  The 20 year old was stopped north of Jerusalem at 3:00pm local time.

From the Jerusalem Post:

The young man arrived at the north Jerusalem checkpoint at around 3 pm. He aroused the suspicion of Border Guard forces stationed there that upon a search of his possessions found six small pipe bombs, and proceeded to arrest him. A sapper was called in to dismantle the devices.

This is the same location where a female Palestinian terrorist attacked soldiers with a knife.  While some checkpoints were removed for good reason, this is proof of the reason why we need to keep many of them intact.
